Here is an interesting one. In Sassaman v Gamache, Dutchess County Bd of Elections and Dutchess County, ___F.3d___(2d Cir. May 22, 2009), the 2d Circuit held that a male employee who was charged by a coworker with sexual harassment
provided sufficient evidence to make out a prima facie case of
discrimination against his employer based on sex stereotyping,
including his supervisor’s statement that men have a propensity to
commit sexual harassment and his employer’s failure to properly
investigate the charges lodged against him.

The plaintiff employee was told he
would be terminated unless he chose to resign. Remarkably, his supervisor told him, “you probably did what she said you
did because you’re male and nobody would believe you anyway.” The
district court discounted the comment as a stray remark, but the Second
Circuit disagreed. The employer’s claim
that it feared a lawsuit by the accuser did not justify reliance on sex
stereotypes to shortcut its investigation, discriminating against the
accused employee in the process.
